    Crazy scenes when LeBron scored the basket to beat the scoring record.

    Interviews and photos taken, still got a match to play.

    Similar to when Pele scored his 1,000th
    goal and the game stopped.

    Yeah, usually each team would just take a time out, but definitely a massive deal.

    Lakers in the Play-in and will take on the Tim Wolves. After a patchy season, finished strong.

    Looking forward to the playoffs. Love the play-in rounds (and they should do the same for the draft IMO to make tanking less effective).

    The west is a complete mess, so I will be keeping my money away from that side of the bracket, but will enjoy watching it. Glad to see Sacramento back in it as well. They have a fun team that we barely got to see this season, so I'm low-key hoping they can make it out of there, even though their defense is terrible.

    East looks a bit more straight-forward with the Bucks, Celtics and 76ers probably the ones to make it out of there.

    OK Ok there's no need to get personal!!

    Lakers really are horrible against the Clips. It's beyond disgusting.

    Bucks have been unreal. Think they regain it this year.

    The play-in games were absotlutely bonkers. Enjoyed each one.

    @Ollie Rebuild OKC looking pretty decent! No expectations they even win another game so they can play freely and get some playoff experience, with Chet yet to play. Been a fun team to watch this year and should be fun in the coming years as well.

    Raptors and Wolves both just helping out their opponents win those games as well. Terrible free throw shooting, silly turnovers, blown double digit leads.

    Yeah I haven't been following along as much as I woulda been because I was frustrated with Presti continuing not to draft shooters which was the downfall last time, so I thought he'd ruined the rebuild. I still think OKC need to get more shooting to really get anywhere but they are gonna be a threat next season, no doubt! SGA, Giddey and Dort are playing great. Looked questionable but I do believe Giddey will be a star. Hope Chet comes back healthy, and we can really see something exciting.

    In hindsight the Clippers would take back that SGA and a million picks for PG trade now, SGA is brilliant. Clippers fans were rightfully distraught when they traded him away.

    Giddey is hilarious to watch. He looks like a player out of the 50's with absolutely zero sauce but he's so fast and awkward that he can juke out defenders by just running left :laugh:. I've never seen anything like that before.

    I've actually seen Chet live a few times before when I lived in Minnesota for their state championships. He filled the Target Center better than the Wolves do! He was a man amongst boys. Definitely excited to see what this generation of unicorns have.

    Clippers pull off the shock win at the Suns.

    Kawhi best player in the NBA on form.

    Man, that game was ridiculous.

    Bucks are bottling it.

    On paper, Phoenix should win this. The team they have is brilliant.

    Lakers vs Warriors potentially next round. WOW!!

    He's a beast. I'd never want to come face to face with him in a dark alley :rofl:

    Nets lost key players so wasn't expecting anything from them.

    Philly could be dark horses though. Joel is in beast mode.

    Bucks are gone. They're beginning to remind me of Phoenix for a couple of Regular Seasons smashing through and then buckle in the Play Offs.

    Cavs gone too. Donavan wasted over there.

    No Donovan was being Donovan and disappeared in the playoffs. Happened in Utah, happening now. But they're young and exciting and a bright future ahead.

    Bucks just met playoff HIMmy Butler and are now going to the beach (not South Beach tho).
